The spiritual power within is like a group of mischievous children that Xu Fan must constantly suppress. If Xu Fan becos careless for even a mont, the spiritual power within will beco restless, ready to forcefully break through the realm at any ti.
Damn it…
Xu Fan feels utterly exhausted and a faint sadness envelops him.
Others worry about progressing too slowly, driving themselves with desperation and determination. But Xu Fan? He does nothing, having recently broken through two levels consecutively, stepping into the peak of the Mysterious Light Realm. Before he could even get accustod to the feeling of this peak, he is already on the verge of breaking through again…
Xu Fan is not being pretentious, he truly feels uncomfortable!
Firstly, the Divine Demon Portal only allows peak Kai Yang Realm experts to pass through. Once Xu Fan stops suppressing himself, the portal will open in three years, and Xu Fan might have already broken through to the Immortal Monarch Level, rendering him incapable of entering the Divine Demon Battlefield!
Secondly, Xu Fan worries that progressing too quickly will leave hidden troubles when he reaches levels above Immortal.
Ever since Xu Fan learned from Xia Hengzhou that rapid advancent is detrintal and may sow the seeds of disaster for the future, he intentionally started to suppress his realm's improvent.
But how easy is it to suppress a realm?
For instance, previously, Xu Fan could only cultivate nine cultivation techniques to awaken nine Ferocious Beasts, but cultivation requires seclusion for in-depth contemplation and deduction. If his mind relaxes even a bit, he will break through in an instant, regardless of whether Xu Fan wants it or not.
Moreover, even without seclusion, Xu Fan finds it unbearable. He must remain alert at all tis, without any lapse in concentration or wandering thoughts.
At this mont, if Xu Fan's mind drifts for a mont, he might find himself having broken through to a new realm when he regains his focus...
This pain is sothing an ordinary cultivator can hardly comprehend...
Keep in mind, there are still nearly three years until the Divine Demon Portal opens!
During these three years, no seclusion, no sleep, not even a stray thought. He must constantly monitor his spiritual power within, ready to suppress it whenever necessary...
Thinking about this, Xu Fan is on the verge of collapsing!
This isn't cultivation; it's practically torture!
Furthermore, if the disadvantages of rapid advancent cannot be resolved, not just these three years, but every mont until a solution is found, Xu Fan will suffer this agony!
"No way! I must find a solution!"
Xu Fan furrowed his brows and started to think deeply.
It is often said that nothing in the world is difficult if you have determination. Soon, Xu Fan ca up with an idea.
Isn't it just that rapid progress might lead to unstable foundations and even the risk of bursting the body and dying? Then why not stop cultivating completely?
Cultivation techniques, stop! Spearmanship practice, stop!
Everything related to cultivation, stop it all!
Seal all his spiritual power completely!
Once a thod to counter the disadvantages is found or when the Divine Demon Portal is about to open, he can then lift the suppression on himself, potentially even entering the Divine Demon Battlefield, and break through to the peak of the Kai Yang Realm.
It's simple!
Yet when Xu Fan tried, he found it wasn't as simple as he imagined.
Years of cultivation have already beco ingrained habits.
Not to ntion during crises, the instinct carved in his mind will make the spiritual power operate subconsciously. Even during normal tis, wanting to travel quickly or take a walk, and without conscious thought, he finds himself already in mid-air...
"Sothing's not right! There must be sothing wrong!"
Xu Fan closed his eyes, completely calming his mind to think.
Xu Fan's situation is unique because when he stepped into the Vajra Realm, he was Earth's only perfect level. Thus, Xu Fan cannot communicate with anyone facing similar circumstances.
In the whole starry sky, there were reportedly six people who achieved a perfect level in the Vajra Realm, and all six, without exception, died untily deaths during their accomplishnts of Immortal Monarch or Immortal Venerable, due to bodily explosion.
Therefore, Xu Fan can only ponder and explore the answers himself.
"Cultivation to is instinct; stopping cultivation ans changing instinct!"
"Instinct is embedded in the bones, also related to the environnt and lifestyle I am in! To change instinct, one must change the environnt and state!"
Thinking about it, in the crisis-filled cultivation world where battles and struggles are constant, changing instinct is almost impossible.
Even if the Earth's super powers have been conquered by Xu Fan, and no one dares to disrespect Xu Fan, just seeing others soar through air or perform sword control will trigger Xu Fan's instincts!
Suddenly, Xu Fan rembered a phrase soone once told him: Cultivation is cultivating the mind!
At this mont, Xu Fan felt a huge sense of agreent with this phrase!
Cultivation is for strength! And strong power requires an even stronger heart to wield!
"Cultivating the mind... cultivating the mind..."
Xu Fan muttered to himself, suddenly his eyes lit up, "I understand!"
Since it is about cultivating the mind, what environnt can be better than Earth? As long as he lives like an ordinary person, imrsing himself in the world of ordinary people, experiencing their joys and sorrows, and forgetting cultivation, forgetting spiritual power...
With this approach, won't his goal be achieved?
In the world of ordinary people, there is no need to worry about crises, nor worry about seeing others soar in the sky, or perform sword control. As long as he avoids watching fantasy or martial arts dramas, he won't be reminded of anything related to cultivation.
Living like an ordinary person, quietly experiencing his own and others' joys and sorrows—isn't this cultivating the mind?
"In other words... Ice Palace, Pill Divine Valley, Jinling, cannot be visited!"
No need to ntion Ice Palace and Pill Divine Valley; just thinking of the enchantress Chu Le'er, or seeing Jin Li's loyal and fierce red face easily triggers Xu Fan's instincts.
As for Jinling, although he can accompany Xia Xiaodie and others, the critical thing is that Jinling has Jiang Quan!
With Jiang Quan boasting and running around mischievously every few days, how can one cultivate the mind?
Good he'd not be pissed to death!
This place cannot be visited, nor that place; Xu Fan decided not to bother running around anymore, and instead just be an ordinary person in Luocheng!
The Dragon Divine Art halted its operation, feeling the connection with nature's spiritual energy gradually fade, the spiritual power within Xu Fan's body transford from a restless turmoil into calmness, ultimately turning into a still pond...
Immortal Artifacts, Elixirs, storage rings... everything related to cultivation was buried by Xu Fan...
Of course, Xu Fan could not part with these items, so there was a special arrangent in his avatar.
If he hadn't awakened in three years or if anything urgent happened, his avatar would return his consciousness, bringing Xu Fan back to awareness in an instant.
Yet even so, Xu Fan's action carried significant risk; should Xu Fan indulge in this, entirely forgetting everything before, it's not impossible.
Take right now, Xu Fan prepared everything but still has that nagging feeling that he seems to have forgotten sothing.
With all preparations complete, Xu Fan took a deep breath and strode towards Luocheng.
…
"Xu Fan!"
Xia Hengzhou hurriedly returned to the yard, calling out a few tis with no response. He ascended into the sky, looked around, utterly puzzled.
Wasn't I supposed to report the situation to the superiors? I reported it, and the order from above has arrived.
But… where's Xu Fan?
Did that guy... just leave like this?
